How to French Braid Your Hair

If you are having a bad hair day or just don't feel like putting in the time to do your hair, a French braid is the perfect remedy. It is chic and easy to do. Follow these easy steps and you are all set.

Brush out your hair

If you have long hair, use a water to detangle and tame. 

Section your hair

Take a section of hair and divide it into three equal sections. Begin a regular braid above your ear lobes.

After you start a regular braid, take 1/2 to 1-inch sections of loose hair from each side, joining them one a time into the main braid. Keep your braid tight and centered as you work your way down your hairline.

  Complete

When you have braided all of your hair, secure with a band. You can pull some wisps out on the side or from your bangs for a sexy look. Use hairspray to tame any flyaways. 

Tip

• Before you start, you can use a smoothing creme or leave-in conditioner to tame you hair. If you have loose pieces when you are finished, tuck them in with bobby pins that match your hair shade or leave them for a loose, sexy look.
